Photos from Gwyneth's Camera
Thursday was like Salt Marsh study day. We went off towards Tybee Beach with Dr. Gilligan and we studied the salt marshes. We saw fiddler crabs...Little crabs that live in the salt marsh. Male fiddler crabs have a huge white claw that is used as a mating tool. Female crabs are smaller and according to Dr. Gilligan, take less time eating because they can eat with two claws (male has a huge claw that is in the way). It's a balance.
Tybee Beach was next.. We saw water level influence on the beach. Oyster beds were mostly located on the bottom part of rock layers while barnacles are on the top. We visited a fort that had crocodiles around (I did't see any). There was a sign saying croc watch lol! I got the pictures from Gwyneth's camera. Enjoy.

Dr. Gilligan right before he ate that plant in hand (it was salty). This is used in salads.
